This year, the Wanalea family celebrated the International Children's Day in a very special way. On June 1st 2014, a team of UCI, a company that supports ADDHU and this particular project, came to visit the Wanalea Children's Home...

In June 2014, we finished the construction of the Sondra Myers Library at the Wanalea Children's Home. It was a very special day for all of us and the outcome of ADDHU's local team's excellent and hard work.

It is now possible to support ADDHU’s feeding program in the slum and to sponsor the meals of a needy child for only 10 Euros per month! ADDHU’s new program “Feed a Child” allows anyone interested in helping these kids to make a lasting and positive difference in their lives by making monthly donations and ensuring the continuation of ADDHU’s life-saving food aid program.

Welcome to the ADDHU family Gaki!

ADDHU has rescued another child by giving her shelter in the Wanalea Children’s Home in Nairobi. Her name is Gaki and she is 9 years old. She comes from the region of Meru, near Mount Kenya. After her mother’s death, Gaki was brought to the Kware slum in Nairobi by her aunt, who mistreated her, physically abusing the child and forcing her to work.

The child was brought to us by government officials of the Children Services Department, which have considered the Wanalea Children’s Home the only orphanage in the area capable of effectively protecting and caring for children like Gaki.

The child is now under ADDHU’s care and she is very happy. Gaki was very well received by the other children and she quickly adapted to life in the Centre. She is now back to school and we are doing everything we can to give some stability and normality back to Gaki’s life. The little girl wants to be a teacher when she grows up, and she was very happy to have the opportunity to go to school and get an education.

The kenyan Children’s Court has decided that the child is to remain under our care, as she has no family and no place to go. We are happy to receive Gaki in our Centre and we welcome her with the promise that we will fight for her and do everything so she can have the love and care she deserves and needs to be happy and have a healthy development.

Gaki needs foster parents to help her achieve her dream of becoming a teacher! We know these are difficult times, but, more than ever, we need your help and support to overcome all the adversities that stand in our way. Therefore, we appeal to your solidarity and generosity, and we ask for your assistance to help us find foster parents for this beautiful child. The smallest gesture can make a huge difference for Gaki.
